You’d probably be better following the hashtag on mastodon

Overall though, blogs have actually been harder to find, so I’m open to anything people have that they’d suggest!

https://mastodon.social/@_elena Elena Rossini is a journalist who’s big on the Fediverse.

Joan westenberg is another journalist i like. She has a blog as well https://mastodon.social/@Daojoan

News: https://www.thebignewsletter.com/feed

https://www.welcometohellworld.com/rss/ a bit pessimistic

https://www.theindex.media/rss/ more fediverse and anti capitalist types

There are others i follow but they’re a bit niche. I did find some public domain stuff as well, like books and such

I used to. I once turned a laptop into a Windows media server just to host movies and music for the house. That was fun

Just to keep the instance up and running he needs to spend up to $5000 a month, pretty much out of his pocket.

Wtf!?

Anything that fits the socket and has the IO and form factor that you need is fine

You may be overestimating your requirements a bit. For video, all you need is something with a transcoder and it could handle at least one stream. If this is just for you, it’ll be idle most of the time. As long as the hard drives have good reviews, it’ll be fine.

What you listed sounds good. I have my entire family’s files and photos (with some duplicates that i never removed) and it comes out to less than 1TB.

I think your idea sounds fine. An old PC will do fine.

In Louisiana we have the holy Trinity: onion, celery, and green bell pepper add the basis for most of our foods.

If you want something easy, maybe mix that with some scrambled eggs and rice. Otherwise, peanut butter? Haha

I thought that was gone for good, ty!
